This week, I recorded a small hoard of Roman decorative horse gear fittings, dating c. AD 12 to 120, from excavated sites on the continent. These three pieces are part of a small but growing collection of horse equipment discovered here from the Gallo-Roman period. #findsfriday

I'm not sure, but I think *Humungous* was a general commanding the Roman fort of Aquarium in the #Asterix books 🤔

Hannah is clearing the terrifyingly betoothed double dog burial in Trench Q at #Durotriges24
We've had Iron Age dog burials before but never 2 in the same pit

I think it is personal privilege to finally 'meet' Regina of the Catuvellauni, wife of Barates from Palmyra, Syria. Her tombstone is currently in the BM Legion exhibition alongside some amazing artefacts such as the Dura shield #Roman #Archaeology

Finally made it to the BM to see Legion. Fulfilling a dream to see this object, the last surviving 'complete' rectangular scutum excavated from Dura, Syria and usually kept in Yale university. #Roman #Archaeology #Legion #Shield

Do you have a problem with being way too interested in Roman military equipment? We may have just the solution for you. Let one of us bore you senseless with videos on the subject; this may be the cure you've been craving! tinyurl.com/4m4h8p3j

Mighty and unrepentant thanks to @BerkshireFlo (ably assisted by @ArchaeoLives) for hosting our talk to @RomanFindsGrp this evening about the background to B&C1 & B&C2 and where we're going with B&C3. There may well be video evidence of this encounter one day ... 😉

Sums up my PhD experience really. Pod isn't feeling well so I'll be sitting up with her and writing about who owned Roman militaria while she 'supervises' #phdlife #RomanArmy #RomanMilitaryEquipment #LetSleepingToddlerLie
